4.2 / 5.0(2,586 reviews)
Highly recommend because you will feel the energy & passion from all waitress. I learn that most of they are student. They walk fast and also keep smile, you will feel they like to move fast and ensure you are happy here. Big hall they have and also got great outdoor table. Food is good and can’t say excellent but over average Price is fair and highly recommend The waiters were very polite and warm. Our orders were served very quickly. The waiter's wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered steak, which was delicious. The high ceiling, reminiscent of a train station, creates a very spacious atmosphere. The clientele was also quite distinguished. The tagline is a "refined venue" but this is more like a local neighborhood restaurant. It's fine, but not worth the drive if you are staying downtown. The steak was tough and of poor quality, and I'm pretty sure my wife (who has a gluten allergy) was glutened here despite a warning to the staff.

The seafood is amazing, tasty, fresh and highly recommended. Drinks were good too, quick service and amazing desserts. We sat outside, so quiet and relaxing - a great spot to relax. The meat options too are highly recommended- fresh and tasty. Easy to reach with public transport as well.

One of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam. The brasserie vibes of this place are unmatched. The menu has loads of options and they’re all delicious. I recommend taking an entree and a main dish, trust me, you will have enough food with the two! Yes, it is pricier than your average restaurant but that’s why I like it, I can come for a special occasion and every time I come I am not disappointed. Great atmosphere as this restaurant is in an old water pumping station so very cool architecture and super spacious and open. The staff are super friendly although sometimes it can take a bit to get noticed bit that’s just because there are many tables.
